why am i unable to delete messages on my iphone
It gives me the options to delete, and when you hit the delete button the messages do go away, but only for a few seconds. If you try to send anything to them or to anyone else afterwords the messages refuse to send and other chats refuse to load. I have to power off my phone, then power it back in again, then when I go to back to the app the messages are there again.
